SAUGERTIES >> A proposed electronic dance music event that could have brought up to 75,000 people to Winston Farm next Memorial Day weekend will not take place, according to town Supervisor Kelly Myers.

Myers said during a Town Board meeting Wednesday that the proposed Electric Daisy Carnival event will not be held. She said the local fire and ambulance services did not feel they could safely provide services during that type of event.

“The Electric Daisy concert does not look like it’s going to happen,” Myers said. “There were some concerns about how to safely manage that and the Schaller family has had some concerns as well.”

The Schaller family owns Winston Farm.

Councilman Fred Costello said it is important to note that the concert was in its preliminary planning stages. He said there have been some starts and stops for events at Winston Farm, but the town wants to cooperate with the groups planning those events and make sure they are a good fit for the community. Costello added that the town will continue to provide information about such events as it becomes available.

“The start and stops come as a result of their fleshing out an idea,” Costello said. “And, for whatever reason, along the way some of those ideas have not been practical.”

Representatives of a company called Insomniac had made an initial presentation earlier this year about holding one of their Electric Daisy Carnival events at Winston Farm. The Los Angeles, Calif.-based company had proposed a three-day festival featuring camping and food and beverages on-site. The festival would have included four to seven stages featuring music, as well as carnival rides, costumed performers, nightly fireworks displays and large-scale art installations on site.

Myers said that while the Electric Daisy Carnival will not be coming to Saugerties next year, there are other plans for a live music concert with camping at Winston Farm. She said there is also a possible yoga weekend with music being planned, as well as an Octoberfest.

Additionally, Myers said the town has been talking about having a more permanent performance venue in Saugerties. She said she hoped the concert events at Winston Farm could lead to that being created.
